“And therefore we Must Seek Dialogue in this Networked World”: A Meeting of Postcolonialism and Posthumanism in “Coloniality, Ontology, and the Question of the Posthuman” (ed. Mark Jackson). A Review
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Austin, Patrycja
“Coloniality, Ontology, and the Question of the Posthuman” (2018) is a part of the “Routledge Research in New Postcolonialisms” series. The essays in this volume, edited and introduced by Mark Jackson, all answer the question of whether and how postcolonialism and posthumanism meet and inform one another in their response to contemporary debates around the Anthropocene, refugee crisis, environmental collapse or indigenous worldviews.
Modele polskiej prozy „unijnej”. Próba klasyfikacji
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Pasterska, Jolanta
Poland’s accession to the European Union and the democratization of the country resulted in a change in the specificity of the Polish emigration prose. Its political dimension was subdued. The status and role of the writer-emigrant changed. Now, without the feeling of having betrayed his/her homeland or language, the writer has become a chronicler of the life of compatriots abroad and an observer of the culture of the country of settlement. The focus of the present considerations is an attempt to characterize three models according to which the description of sociological and cultural phenomena takes place. The first one covers the type of stories symptomatic of migration in which the characters are young people without complexes, curious about the world, wishing to discover it. In this case, we are dealing with intercultural texts that attempt to describe the new culture of the country of settlement and the related identity experiences. The second model uses a model present in postcolonial literature. The hero of this prose is an oppressed migrant whose “mission” is, in a sense, to conquer the new country in order to become a “colonizer” and lose the status of a “colonized” one. He/she thus stands in opposition to a foreign world and the new culture/cultures. The third variant collects polemic works in the face of both this doctrine and the post-colonial discourse, both of which, entering into dialogue with the above mentioned forms, create their own model of counter-discourse.
Podmioty moralności. Studium porównawcze opowieści o mordercach („African Psycho’ Alaina Mabanckou i „American Psycho” Breta Eastona Ellisa)
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Poręba, Izabela
The article is a comparative study of two stories about murderers, characters of the novels “African Psycho” (2003) by Alain Mabanckou and “American Psycho” (1991) by Bret Easton Ellis. The similarities in the construction of the main characters – fascination with popular culture, brutality and vulgarity, identity problems and interest in famous serial killers – are evidence of Mabanckou’s intertextual play with a popular American novel. The essence of this play, however, is rather the moments of distinguishing and negotiating with the original text, among them: cultural, social, economic and political differences in the construction of the world presented, different class positions and motivations for the actions of the murderers. The article investigates also the main characters’ capability to be subjects of moral judgements. Their specific mental state (biographical discontinuity, isolation, desire for evil) is evidence of „depowerment”. Therefore, their capacity for self-understanding and ethical responsibility is questioned.
